If you wnat to add an accent to the grille, use a can of Rustoleum "Satin Black" for cleaning it up. The paint stays black and does not turn grey in color.

I was kicking that around(satin black).The truck color being a dark silver(pewter)I have a lot of options.When I get to repaint I'm planning on same color but semi gloss/flat.I like the flat black look but thinking a color would look different and cool.Years ago had a early Ford primered purple.

my 86 had a silverish grille and there were tons of selections in the paint aisle in the local auto parts store.. i used wheel paint in a light silver to make it look factory and it turned out ok someone did the headlight bezels on my 82 i need to do the grille
